Overlapping ad that you can't close

Occasionally on the desktop website, I'm getting an advert appearing that overlaps the list of threads e.g. when I'm looking at the Active list. It moves up and down on scrolling, but eventually if I scroll further down it disappears and then doesn't reappear when I scroll back up. I've added a screenshot of the ad showing where it appears on screen.

Thanks for flagging this, @SilenceInside We're on it.

This is an ad trafficking issue where the advertiser has incorrectly targeted an ad unit, which is disrupting the user experience.

Unfortunately, this does happen from time to time and usually resolves itself. In the meantime, we'll do our best to temporarily disable the offending ad.

If you spot this again, or come across any other ads that disrupt your experience, please let us know so we can investigate and get to the bottom of it.

Thanks again for bringing this to our attention!

Appeared again today, same ad and same behaviour.
